WARNING: Many posts ahead

Just a little warning for the faint at heart. . . there are SEVEN (yes, that's right, SEVEN) posts for one little tiny day. Please allow me to explain. There seems to be some sort of vortex, black hole, gremlin type thing that happens between my camera and this computer. Any pictures not immediately used just evaporate into thin cyberspace! POOF!!! My first remedy to a problem is always to put it off till tomorrow, but my camera was filling up, so I had to make room by downloading the pictures. I had two choices . . . one hideously LONG blog posting, or several (SEVEN, to be exact) shorter postings. I went with the latter. Enjoy. Oh! And you may want to do so quickly because more are on the way!
